Seriously already? They are overrated? Now I know people have gone nuts! They haev been talking about these 2 for a couple years now.

Every prospect ranking has these guys in the top 3.

That's what happens to prospects that are dubbed "superstars" for long periods of time, people find reasons not to want to take them.

Credibility ruined. Malkin? He's not leaving Pitt. Thornton or Vinny? Ouch.
- JAT27

Is Malkin not signed for 2 more years?

You know Mackinnon and Drouin are over rated? You should tell EVERY SCOUT IN THE WORLD. That way they can start ranking them out of the top 5...


- JAT27

"Every socout in the world" that is a joke. I will only respond to intelligent posts.

My 1st choice is Evengy Malking, a soon to be UFA. I would laso take a shot at Big Joe Thorton or Vinny Lecav if we dont get Malkin.

Man, these Kaleta/Miller quotes on WGR are just adding to the embarassement of this team.

Kaleta cries because he got sat then Miller cries because Kaleta cries. Let's just all cry together.

Dayum.

Drouin was not ranked inside the top 20 this year by any major paid scouting service* (Mckeens, FC, ISS, HP) heading into this season.

This is bad!

Find me a major scout not ranking those two top 5, and I'll apologize. Then crank out a post without something misspelled, and I'll apologize again. "Socout?"

Malkin is a UFA after this year as far as I know. I also know Pitt wont have a ton of cap room and they need to resign Letang also.

OK, then.. .

If you would take a moment of your time, and please elaborate on how in your eyes, the two aformentioned forwards, who are continuously ranked in the top 3 by many of the respected prospect ranking organizations are overrated.

intelligent enough?

Wrong. Unrestricted after next year. And Pitt has 39 mil in cap space that year. Nice talk. Good research.

Yes.....for Moulson

Miller for Moulson? Done.

TSR raanked him #12 in DEcember. I know he is high on the charts right now, but I don't think he is in the same class as Seth Jones or Nathan MacKinnon. His speed is average in the QMJHL. He has great hands and unbelievanle vision. He is smallish and has a ton of points on the best team in the Q this year. That's all I'm saying, I am not trashing him, I just think the Value is there for top 3.

lol true. I want Seth Jones. But I'll be happy as hell with any of them. I just think and hope maybe Seth Jones can be Myers long term asnwer. Who knows.

Letang will be traded before Malkin. Malkin will never hit UFA. He will be traded for kings ransom before that ever happens.

You can guarantee Malkin will be a priority over Letang.

Ovechkin made a great move pulling it from his backhand to his forehand and releasing it quickly. Pominville reacted to the puck still being on his backhand, and it was a bang-bang play that he couldnt beat.


- theblueandgold

This is so wrong. The point that the coach made last night and that our captain doesn't understand is that a player in Pominville's position needs to sell out. God forbid that Jason Pominville, the captain, drops down and blocks a shot because that would be leading by example.

Pat Kaleta would have blocked that shot, and if he didn't block the shot, he would have made the effort.

The captain did not. Lazy and in my opinion, selfish.

I agree with Paul Hamilton: Pominville needs to go. Soon.

The same Mackinnon you've deemed "over rated?"

He should be cut/ Scratched/ sent to the minors tomorrow. That is awful. I got mad watching that, and I dont even like Nashville!

I would rank the top 3 as Jones, Barkov and Mackinnon.

You want him to dive head first? Vanek was equally as lazy on that play. Didnt fight through the winger to get to the puck. But, nah, its all Pominvilles fault.

Miller for Moulson? Done.
